4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Real-time Tracking & Historical Route Playback
The MP50G utilizes multiple positioning methods (GNSS+BDS+GLONASS+WiFi+LBS+AGPS) for accurate tracking. You can monitor your pet's location in real-time and review their travel history for the past 180 days via the mobile app or web platform.
4.2 Reply Positioning After Calling
If you call the device's phone number (the SIM card number inside the tracker), the device will automatically send an SMS with a Google Maps positioning link to your phone. This allows for quick location retrieval without needing the app.
4.3 Light & Sound Tracking
This feature helps locate your pet in dark environments. When activated via the app, the device will emit a white light and a "Beep" sound, making it easier to find your animal visually and audibly.
4.4 Alarm Functions
The MP50G offers several customizable alarm features:
- Geo-fence: Set virtual boundaries on the map. You will receive an alert if your pet enters or exits these predefined areas.
- Low Power Alarm: Notifies you when the device's battery level is low, prompting you to recharge it.
- No Motion Alarm: Triggers an alert if your pet stops moving for a user-configured duration.
- Motion Alarm: Triggers an alert if your pet starts moving again after being stationary for a user-configured duration (e.g., 3 seconds).
5. Mobile App and Web Platform
The MiCODUS MP50G tracker can be managed and monitored through a dedicated mobile application and a web platform. The first year of platform service is typically free.
- Web Platform: Access tracking features via www.micodus.net.
- Mobile App: Download the official MiCODUS app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). You can find QR codes for direct download in Figure 10.
To log in, use the device ID number and the default password (usually the last 6 digits of the IMEI, or as provided in the packaging).
6. Maintenance
6.1 Waterproofing (IPX7)
The MP50G tracker boasts an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for pets playing in the rain, washing hands, or even showering while wearing it. However, ensure the SIM card slot cover is properly sealed after installation to maintain this rating.
6.2 Battery Life
The 4000mAh battery provides extended usage:
- Approximately 4 days with 1-minute tracking frequency.
- Approximately 15 days with 1-hour tracking frequency.
Battery life can vary based on network signal strength, tracking frequency, and environmental factors. Always monitor the low power alarm and recharge promptly.
7. Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on:
- Ensure the device is fully charged. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch for a few seconds.
- No GPS signal or inaccurate location:
- Ensure the device is in an open area with a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS signal reception.
- Check if the SIM card has active data service and sufficient balance.
- The device uses GNSS+LBS+AGPS. LBS (Location Based Service) accuracy can vary (100-2000m) depending on the density of cellular base stations, especially in non-urban areas.
- Cannot connect to the mobile app/web platform:
- Verify your device ID and password.
- Ensure the SIM card has an active data plan and the device has network connectivity.
- Check your internet connection on your phone or computer.
- SIM card not recognized:
- Ensure the Nano SIM card is inserted correctly and the cover is securely fastened.
- Confirm the SIM card is active and compatible with 4G LTE CAT1 and 2G GSM/GPRS networks.

9. User Tips
- SIM Card Requirement: The tracker does not come with a SIM card. You will need to purchase a Nano SIM card separately. Ensure it supports 4G LTE CAT1 and 2G GSM/GPRS networks and has an active data plan, SMS, and call capabilities for full functionality.
- Network Coverage: For optimal GPS accuracy and real-time tracking, ensure your pet is in an area with good cellular network coverage. While LBS provides approximate location in areas with poor GPS, it is less precise.
- Initial Setup: After inserting the SIM card and fully charging the device, allow it some time in an open outdoor area to acquire a strong GPS signal for the first time.
- App Login: If you encounter issues logging into the app, double-check the device ID and password. The default password is often the last 6 digits of the IMEI.
